Charles BernadezFinally, Sumusunod Na Rin Ang Gyrating Jets 😭

After ilang rounds ng “BAKIT DIYAN KA PUMUPUNTA?!” 😂, I finally got the gyrating behavior working the way I wanted.

It can now move in the direction I give it, spin clockwise and counterclockwise, and the floral jets are behaving properly too. Finally, may sumusunod na rin sa akin. 😭

Ang current kalaban? —Responsiveness. Every burst still has around 2–3 seconds of delay. Parang may sariling decision-making process muna bago tumalsik. 💦 So that’s the next thing I need to fix.

After that, I want to start giving the simulation some actual ✨environment✨—grass, people, buildings, and eventually maybe even a scale model of the actual site. But rule number one: smooth real-time performance stays. Walang aesthetic-aesthetic kung 5 FPS naman.

For this test, I’m back again with the fountain layout inspired by **Luneta / Rizal Park in Manila** 🇵🇭—one of the country’s most iconic parks.

And the song?

“eight” by IU feat. SUGA. 🎶

Why IU again?

You already know the answer.
Basta. Ako gumagawa, ako masusunod. HAHAHA. 💜😂
At this rate, fountain simulator ❌
IU concert simulator na may tubig ✅

One bug at a time… hanggang maging “teka, simulation lang ’yan?!” 👀💦

Charles BernadezPati Fountain, May Love Life Na 💦😭❤️

Same fountain layout, new choreography—and apparently, mas may love life pa ’tong fountain kaysa sa atin. 😂

This time, I choreographed it to “Palagi” by TJ Monterde & KZ Tandingan. From real-time simulation to the actual fountain, medyo nakakakilig pala kapag tubig ang nagse-serenade. 💦🎶😂

Same jets. Same layout. Different mood.

From Taylor Swift drama, Ariana Grande vibes… ngayon OPM lover era naman tayo. 🇵🇭❤️

At this point, hindi na fountain simulation ’to… may character development na. 😭💦

Charles BernadezSame fountain layout, but a completely different vibe. 👀

This time, here’s another choreography I made using “Twilight Zone” by Ariana Grande, using the same fountain layout from my “The Fate of Ophelia” simulation.

It’s fun seeing how the exact same fountain can feel completely different just by changing the song, timing, jet movements, and choreography. 💦✨

Another real-time simulation vs. real-life fountain moment—and definitely more songs to come. 😅🎶

Same layout. New song. New personality. 💦

Charles BernadezThis one feels a little different. 👀

Here’s a side-by-side look at the real fountain and its real-time simulation using another fountain layout—bringing the choreography I created to life both virtually and in the actual fountain. 💦🎶

For this one, I used “The Fate of Ophelia” by Taylor Swift. Seeing the timing, movements, and effects I choreographed translate between the simulation and the real fountain is pretty satisfying. 😅

The simulation is still evolving, but this is exactly what I’ve been working toward: making it a useful visual preview of how the choreography could actually look in real life.

Virtual jets ➡️ real jets. Slowly getting there. 💦👀

Charles BernadezTrying something a little different with my real-time fountain simulation! 👀

This time, I created a new sample using a different fountain layout to see how the choreography, jet movements, and overall performance can change depending on the fountain arrangement.

For this simulation, I used “Never Enough” by Loren Allred—because why not make the fountains a little more dramatic? 😄✨

Still experimenting with different layouts and discovering how each one can create a completely different fountain experience. 💦🎶

More layouts, more songs, and more fountain experiments coming soon! 👀

Charles BernadezA pretty big progress update on my real-time fountain simulation! 🎉

I’ve finally made some remarkable improvements in making the simulation more lightweight, responsive, and smooth in real time. The performance side was one of the biggest challenges, and I’m happy to say it’s now in a much better place. 💪💦

Now that the “Can it run smoothly?” problem is mostly addressed, I’m moving on to the fun part—finding that sweet spot between looking good and staying smooth. 👀✨

Still tweaking, still experimenting, and still making the fountains dance one simulation at a time. 😂💦

More progress coming soon! 🚀

Charles BernadezAnother little progress update on our real-time fountain simulation! 🎉

I started adding moving jets and refining the movements to make the simulation feel more alive. The popping effects, delays, and particle enhancements are still a work in progress—especially since everything is happening in real time. 😅💦

One of the biggest things I've been working on now is making the simulation lighter and more optimized so it can run smoothly in real time without sacrificing too much of the visual effects. Still finding that sweet spot between looking good and running smoothly. 😂

This simulation isn’t part of the actual system yet. Once I'm happy and satisfied with the performance and overall experience, the goal is to eventually integrate it into the system. 👀

For this one, I’m using “Holssi” by IU because… well, I’m a fan. Hehehe. 🤭💜 So yes, expect more IU songs to somehow find their way into these fountain simulations. 😂💦

Still experimenting. Still optimizing. More to come! 🚀

Charles BernadezBER months are almost here in the Philippines, so naturally… I had to make a fountain simulation for Christmas Tree Farm by Taylor Swift. 😂

Just testing the choreography, fountain movements, and lighting in real time. Still a work in progress, but it’s already starting to feel a little bit like Christmas. 🎄✨

Why wait for December when we can start playing Christmas songs in August?

Charles BernadezMade this on a whim. 😅

Was playing around with the idea of turning an architecture portfolio into an interactive magazine… and, well, it turned into this.

Not gonna lie, I kinda love how it turned out. 🏛️📖

If you’re an architect and want something like this for your portfolio, feel free to message me. 👀
